POSIX requires that this program have an identical first and last line:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <errno.h>
int main (void) {
char *err = strerror(1000);
printf ("%s\n", err);
errno = 2000;
perror ("hi");
printf ("%s\n", err);
return 0;
}
but on cygwin 1.7.7, the perror() corrupts the buffer returned by
strerror(). We should probably fix that in gnulib as part of our perror
module.
